Sway Bar Bushing Bracket - Where to Buy?

[dsturch1]

Hey guys, I have read the entire sway bar bushing replacement sticky. I started noticing tonight that on the new explorer I just got, well new to me - there was a tapping noise as I went over bumps. Initially I thought it was possibly a sheared shock, I was pleasantly surprised to find the following:

While I am at it, I was looking online for bushings, and end links - however none of the bushings come with the bracket to hold them in place! I found energy suspension bushings that will work with my 34mm sway bar, however they are a 4 day order item...

Anybody know where I can buy just the bracket, or if maybe even advance auto or auto zone would sell the bracket with the bushings and just not show it in the pictures online or have it listed online?

Thanks in advance as always!

Local junkyard would be the cheapest and quickest.

Thanks guys, got it at Napa actually. The NAPA in Doylestown, PA is right next to the Ford Dealership and they carry all of the OE parts. 22 dollars for a set of 2. Now onto the next problem...I went to take the bracket off, and the bolts are stripped and just spinning in the frame

Any suggestions?

Also had the same problem occur today, after having replaced all sway bar bushings, and reused stock bolts. Drivers side bracket bolt has bent, due to one of the OE bolts shearing off. I've bent it back into shape with repeating heating, hammering, and some vice usage, can anyone recommend where to get bolts for reattaching these brackets, as my local dealer has informed me that Ford has discontinued the hardware. Any assistance appreciated, searched the forums heavily and have yet to produce results. No luck on Napa, Summit, or any distributors locally (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada) yet.
